  I wasnt even planing on surfing today when I got whipped around and forced to surf I felt used and abused for a good little bit till I said heck with im swimming 🙂 it when I got window shaded I wasn’t getting out of It I couldn’t advance either direction it was literally picking up my boat… It was a awesome feeling it really made my day go actually be pulled into something that forceful. Here ya guys go just quick little video

  i found a similar situation on the upper yesterday. went out for a nice surf and it was way stickier than i anticipated. was still fun, just a lot more work that i expected.

    Agreed the first time I highbraced upstream it kicked my boat up in the air so I attempt it again to try and shoot myself out of it but laid over WAY to much and sliced into the water ripped the paddle out of my hand and I got window shaded crazy part was i was still stuck in hole till I wet exited man it was intense
